I want to thank all the adults who helped out on the retreat. IT was such a great success that plans are being made to make this an annual event. The weekend was spent devoting time to God and to grow closer as a youth group. The main focus was unity and how we should help everyone feel welcomed. Many thanks go out to Bobby Hise who was a great teacher and confidant in making sure that I didn't "loose it." Also to my fellow classmates at S.I.B.I. who took time out from their schedules and families to help out == I couldn't have done it without you. And to the number 2 guy -- Jason Hollinger, you are more than a friend you are a true brother in Christ! May we all become united as one so that we can serve the only ONE!! God Bless!! J. Hale |

 This was one of the youth clean up crews that helped keep things clean after meals. |
